"As I've done all my life," Doug says, "I'll build trust with friends, colleagues, peers and the public as a guy who can be depended on and who seeks to bring people together, lift them up, and get things done."
Read the LetterNo action or contribution is too small—we all must lean in together. Let's take action to get moving toward a better tomorrow today.
Over 30 years ago, Doug ran for Congress in Cleveland as a Democrat. He is running again now as a Democrat, but with independent views, to challenge Max Miller, a Republican endorsed by former President Trump. The Center is rising as never before – Democrats, Independents, and, yes, many Republicans will combine to win. You know who you are! Doug believes that most Americans know we must find common ground, stop the gridlock, and solve the awesome challenges we face. He believes we must stop the Cold Civil War and move to higher ground.
The campaign intends to follow Lincoln’s words: "With malice toward none, with charity for all” to begin rebuilding the Union after the Civil War. Doug believes that each of us must start listening to our common sense and exercise more empathy, understanding, and kindness. He will fight the fight but will foster Lincoln’s words and bring Americans together.
Over the past 40 years, Doug has worked in the U.S. and over 40 countries, leaning on the ideas of unity, empathy, listening, compromise, finding solutions, and motivating others to achieve beyond their imaginations, and in so doing, his companies have filled over 150,000 jobs.
Doug Bugie has always put people over politics, he has thought through the hard issues and has centrist common sense solutions. Now that he has experienced both parties in-depth for over 45 years, he believes his positions will ring solid and true with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents in the broad Center. He is as concerned and frustrated as you are that many of these issues have been worsening since he ran over thirty years ago! He believes bridges can be built to solve them.
